Did anyone just see the last ten minutes of Survivor....

I don't quite know how to find any link for it.

It was really flooring and crazy..

I don't want to minimize or say something to take away from what happened to Zeke..
But basically an openly gay man that befriended Zeke, outed him on national television as Transgender.

The reaction of Zeke and the other contestants was so emotionally charged.

The best part was how it touched the Midwest girl. Her response was what America needed right now.

...and the Karner guy or whatever his name was wanted to keep interrupting the Midwest girl when she didn't really want to talk about him.. She was so awesome...

This is how we should be.. Only one in ten is an arse...

It was the most malicious thing I have ever heard. Varner was on the ropes and knew it. He tried to say that Zeke and Ozzie were working together but that went nowhere. He then outed Zeke and used the excuse it was worth a million bucks blah blah. The reaction of everyone there was awesome. They cried and then Varner tried to apologize. It was too late and Jeff asked then and there if there was any reason to vote or if everyone was on the same page and then they said yes and Jeff told Varner he was out and snuffed his flame.

This link will give you more information on what we saw and what we didn't see.

I was worried about posting earlier and creating spoilers.

I went on to watch the ball game, but after the ball game, I was still thinking about Survivor. That was the most stunning ten minutes of television!

The other survivors, including Zeke, acquitted themselves well.

Times are changing. Not too many people will tolerate the type of behavior that Varner displayed tonight. Not any more.
